Boom Box Shield Speech Examples

649 Words3 Pages

For my shield speech I prepared a boom box shield to represent three aspects of my life. In order to prepare for my speech, I had to think of something that connected with my life fairly well and that combined with my topics. The boom box collaborated with my speech on a decent level because my life is a lot like a radio station. In the beginning, I got nervous about five minutes before I had to stand up and present but other than those anxious few minutes I was pretty comfortable. I felt like I spoke a little fast, but that’s a given because I am a naturally born fast speaker.

For example; I need to not sway when I speak, instead I should walk back and forth maybe and make contact with everyone across the room. Speak more clearly and more slow for people who aren’t that good of a listener. A situation where I might need these specific set of skills would be a job interview almost or if I were to be in alcoholics anonymous or something like that. I can’t really think of any other time I would need to give a presentation about myself to anyone. One thing I just thought of that I could improve on for next time is my transitions. Not all my transitions flowed how I wanted them to, but that’s mostly because I have a bad habit of worrying about making eye contact so I didn’t want to look at my note cards and instead I messed up my transitions and conclusion. I stuttered at the end because I was going so fast to wrap it up so I could make time. I am confident that if in the future I were to practice just a little more I wouldn’t feel so rushed in the end. I also need to learn that if it doesn’t go with the topic, I should just leave it out of the speech. All in all, I thought my speech was pretty good but could use some improvement in the near

While I did this, I spoke at a quick pace, but nevertheless with clarity for the audience to catch every word that I spoke. Speaking too quickly, the fast motions, and a few careless pronunciations really made the speech less appealing. After watching the video, I noticed how much I used void fillers. I would say “alright” and “so” quite often.

  • The Future Of Money Speech Analysis

    The speech that I chose to critically analyze-and the one that I felt most mirrored my interests-was a TED talks by Neha Narula, titled The Future of Money, in which she explained and established the significance of cryptocurrency technology. The thing that became most apparent to me while viewing the speech was her introduction. Since I am still a public speaking novice, and I am still discovering the things that work-and don't work-with my speaking, I've been introducing my speech with more of a direct approach. This speech showed me that extensively relating the topic to the audience creates a greater connection. While the speech is approximately 16 minutes in length, Narula spent a total of 6 minutes of the talk, about 40% of the speech, describing multiple real-life examples of how currency works today before even mentioning the word "cryptocurrency".

    Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.

Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
